Xpert Eleven-Foot.ie league [NEW TEAMS WELCOME]

[Dillonman]

Another draw, seriously this is leaving me in huge trouble!!!

[sligoman]

No access to a computer for the weekend so couldn't change any tactics:(.

[Dillonman]

Ragball are guna destroy me in the next few seconds!!!!:mad:

Ah ill take that but would have preferred a point!

[Infadel]

Dont know where you got the idea I was gonna hammer you from! A direct free kick being the difference between the teams

[WindmillWarrior]

6 draws in a row! seriously what the hell!!!

I know, sure how the hell did you manage to scab a draw against me!! :p

[Mr A]

Just wondering folks, if you don't have a guy with free taking as a special quality in the team, do you usually designate a take or just leave it blank?

[DmanDmythDledge]

Best in that case to just give it to the highest skilled player (also take form into account; four form bars = 1 skill bar roughly). Players without the free kick SQ take free kicks at half their skill while players with the SQ take them at their skill so perhaps the player with the SQ may not be the best player. Also, players with shooting power will take free kicks at 80% of their skill so worth considering one of those if you got one too.

This is the case with another team I have. Don't have any free taker but have a defender who is fairly high on the skill bar count and has the shooting power SQ, think he's been second top scorer in that team for the last two or three seasons.

[Mr A]

Ahhhh, bought a total lemon there :mad:

Should have evaluated.

[steno]

Always, always evaluate, I learned that the hard way too

Or save yourself the money and buy off trusted agents.

[Infadel]

7th draw in a row....

[Dillonman]

Finally a win.....YEEEEEEEEEES!!!!

[Dunny]

Big win tonight.

[dfclilywhite]

Manager of the round and I still lose!

[dfx-]

Been away for a week in Bath, but the foot.ie team is the only one with respectable results...I should go away more often. Robbed on Tuesday :p

On a good note, Braidy Boyle makes it his 100th league assist in the 56th minute :cool:

[dfclilywhite]

Just a suggestion but does anyone else think going 4 divisions would be better so the seasons would be shorter. We have a couple of inactives so 4 divisons of 7 would suit.

[dancinpants]

Not a bad result...but cut further adrift thanks wins for teas above us, and dragged further into themire thanks to wins for teams below us. Actually it WAS bad result :(

Did Patsys just hand Wexford the title? Reckon so.

[dfx-]

Massive win in a series of good results (Fiorentino away excepted) dragging us mid-table for now.

5 wins from the last 6

One point from the first 5

On a good note, Elisson is finally going for 6.6m tonight..and hopefully Breen might get a bid..

[ollie]

Whatever about them, a win has hugely needed by me. Home again next week. Need to take full advantage of it.

[Bluebeard]

Finally. A win.

[dfx-]

Jebus they are two big big monstrous 1-0 wins..

Form returns...have to try get away from mid-table or the same fixture list again next season. Or secure safety from relegation. 4 home games left..

[Bluebeard]

Finally. A Nother Win.

[passinginterest]

Great second half for me, starting to believe winning it might be possible. Considering my squad is only about the 6th strongest on paper I'd be delighted if I could hold on.

[dfx-]

7 wins out of 8 since the games against the lazy 11, DB, Wexford Boys etc...so pretty good. Now back to the return games...

More good news when Donnachaidh Breen is FINALLY going after 12 long seasons which means % ME is looking good too. 15 points from 15, form very good...a bit of money to spend in the close season on young players..2 goals conceded in 5 games...it's looking rosy again.

What a win for Patsy's Fags that could be away at GoS...

[Bluebeard]

What a win for Patsy's Fags that could be away at GoS...

What a day to not get around to setting tactics:mad:

They deserved it on the day for their shots and approach though

[Dunny]

Massive win for me tonight. :)

[Dillonman]

Another bloody draw, absolute joke!

[EAFC_rdfl]

its results like last night that make me feel like a piece from 'mock the week' by andy parsons - he slags some man who was on the tube and managed to finish a sudoku and proceeded to punch the air in celebration. Get In!!!

[Dillonman]

Seriously getting sick of drawing so much games after taking the lead!

[Infadel]

At least your picking up points I've been losing with all my teams even though I guess most of their tactics

[dfx-]

That's what form can do...a very credible 1-1 draw on the back of wins as opposed to a 1-2 home defeat on the back of defeats and bottom of the table

Have to hope for second place again and a decent fixture list

[Mr A]

That's my place in the middle division secured anyhoo, decent campaign. Gotta even out the match experience now before the end of the season.

[holidaysong]

Can't believe I still might go down after the start I had!

After the win you just had I was gonna say sure you could have a pop at 3rd but i've just realised theres only 2 games left. Balls to that anyway! Initiative handed over to Forest now for the title :-(

[Mr A]

Well I'll still be giving it a go, lineups won't be really any weaker than than usual.

Not sure we'll still have 3 divisions next season, there's a good few idle teams.

[dancinpants]

Massive away win for us away to an in form Fags. Hauls us up to fifth with a chance of snatching fourth on the last day....be a difficult ask against a team that just won away to the Provos. Mathmatically its all to play for at the basement on the last day...us, Harps, Fiorintino, DBS.

Congrats to Loftys on sealing another title win.

nah im already safe :-P

Sorry man yer right, should have said Patsys.

[Dillonman]

Have I set a record for draws in a season?

[sligoman]

I've been steadily losing interest in this game and think it's time I retire. Any of the longer serving managers interested in being appointed league admin from next season?

[DmanDmythDledge]

I wouldn't mind making a return to UCD but obviously anybody currently in the league gets preference... :)

Dfx would be the logical candidate though.

[Bluebeard]

I was coming on with the plan of congratulating Lofty on winning the League title again - congratulations Lofty on winning the league title again - but I feel that tribute must be paid to Sligoman who has for several seasons run a very good league. We, or at least I, have slagged him off repeatedly over the seasons, but he not only introduced most of us to Xpert Eleven, but founded and steered the league without complaint and was very helpful when any questions have been asked. The league will not be the same without him running it.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Hear, hear. Couldn't have put it better myself.

Shame he didn't get away with what he did to those poor sheep...

[passinginterest]

Shame there's no thanks button anymore :( Congrats to Lofty and thanks to Sligo man for running the league, it's not too late to change your mind!

[DmanDmythDledge]

Congratulations on the title Lofty, squad has developed nicely. :) Four different champions in the past four seasons.

Just had a look at UCD there- possible promotion on the cards with no manager since September!

Aye. But hopefully we should wrap it up on Tuesday.;)

[dancinpants]

Was at a complete loss as to how we could possibly have lost to Harps, more chances, more possession better defensive, midfield and forward line ratings. Then I seen my 8 rated keeper put in a 4 performance. It seems Pants are cursed in the goalkeeping department.
